Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rearview mirror housing technology, and in particular to a rearview mirror housing with anti-collision and shock absorption. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, cars have become an indispensable means of transportation for people. Rearview mirrors play a crucial role in reversing, changing lanes, and observing the situation behind, and are now an essential component of vehicles.

[0003] When a vehicle is driving on the road, it often vibrates due to road bumps. When the car is driving on a bad road, the rearview mirror will shake violently. The shaking not only affects the driver's ability to see the situation behind, but also easily damages the rearview mirror, thus shortening its service life. Therefore, a collision-proof and shock-absorbing rearview mirror housing is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rearview mirror housing with anti-collision and shock absorption features, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rearview mirror housing with anti-collision and shock absorption includes a mounting base, which is U-shaped and has a folding assembly inside. The inner wall of the mounting base has a circular hole, and the same rotating column is installed in two circular holes. A set of springs is fixedly installed on the top and bottom inner walls of the mounting base. There are multiple springs in each set. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the two sets of springs that are close to each other. The two ends of the rotating column are rotatably connected to the side of the two connecting plates that are close to each other. Two buffer pads are fixedly installed inside the mounting base. A fixing plate is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating column. The housing body is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the folding assembly includes a mounting plate fixedly installed on one inner wall of a fixed base, and a first motor and a second motor fixedly installed on the top and bottom sides of the mounting plate, respectively. The output ends of the first motor and the second motor rotatably pass through the mounting plate and are respectively fixedly sleeved with a first pulley and a second pulley.

[0008] Preferably, a first rope and a second rope are fixedly wound around the inner sides of the first pulley and the second pulley, respectively, and the other ends of the first rope and the second rope are fixedly wound around the bottom outer side and the top outer side of the rotating column, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, an infrared sensor is provided on the top side of the outer casing, and the infrared sensor is electrically connected to the first motor and the second motor.

[0010] Preferably, a lens is provided on one side of the outer casing, and a rain shield is fixedly installed on one side of the outer casing, with the lens located below the rain shield.

[0011] Preferably, a set of telescopic rods is fixedly installed on the top inner wall and the bottom inner wall of the fixed base. There are multiple telescopic rods in each set. The ends of the two sets of telescopic rods that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the sides of the two connecting plates that are far from each other. The two sets of telescopic rods are located in the two sets of springs respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the two buffer pads are in contact with the top and bottom sides of the fixing plate respectively on their sides, and both buffer pads are made of rubber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The anti-collision and shock-absorbing rearview mirror housing is equipped with two sets of springs. When the housing body drives the rotating column to move up and down, it will drive the two connecting plates to press against the two sets of springs. During the pressing process, the two sets of springs can buffer the pressing force. Together with the two buffer pads, it can provide double buffering, thereby preventing the housing body from shaking up and down and causing damage. This allows the various components of the rearview mirror to work in a relatively stable environment, which not only extends the service life of the rearview mirror, but also reduces the frequency and cost of replacing the rearview mirror for car owners.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A rearview mirror housing with anti-collision and shock absorption includes a mounting base 1, which is U-shaped. A folding assembly is installed inside the mounting base 1. Circular holes are formed in the inner wall of the mounting base 1, and a rotating column 2 is installed in both holes. A set of springs 3 is fixedly installed on both the top and bottom inner walls of the mounting base 1. Multiple springs 3 are in each set. Connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two sets of springs 3 that are close to each other. The two ends of the rotating column 2 are rotatably connected to the sides of the two connecting plates 4 that are close to each other. Two buffer pads 10 are fixedly installed inside the mounting base 1. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating column 2. A housing body 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing plate 6. By providing two sets of springs 3, the rearview mirror housing can withstand impacts when the vehicle... When driving on bumpy roads, the outer shell 7 will drive the rotating column 2 to move up and down synchronously. During the up and down movement, the two connecting plates 4 will be pressed against the two sets of springs 3. During the pressing process, the two sets of springs 3 can buffer the pressing force, thereby preventing the outer shell 7 from shaking up and down and being damaged. In addition, by setting two buffer pads 10, it can also play a further role in buffering and protection during the up and down movement. This allows the various components of the rearview mirror to work in a relatively stable environment, thereby reducing the probability of short circuits, open circuits and other faults caused by vibration. This extends the service life of the entire rearview mirror and reduces the frequency and cost of replacing the rearview mirror for car owners.

[0021] Specifically, the folding assembly includes a mounting plate 11 fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the fixed base 1. A first motor 12 and a second motor 13 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom sides of the mounting plate 11, respectively. The output ends of the first motor 12 and the second motor 13 rotatably pass through the mounting plate 11 and are respectively fixedly sleeved with a first pulley 14 and a second pulley 15. A first rope 16 and a second rope 17 are fixedly wound around the inner sides of the first pulley 14 and the second pulley 15, respectively. The other ends of the first rope 16 and the second rope 17 are fixedly wound around the bottom outer side and the top outer side of the rotating column 2, respectively. An infrared sensor 9 is provided on the top side of the outer shell 7. The infrared sensor 9 is electrically connected to the first motor 12 and the second motor 13. A lens 18 is provided on one side of the outer shell 7. A rain shield 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer shell 7. The lens 18 is located below the rain shield 8. The infrared sensor 9 is located on the top side of the outer shell 7. Sensor 9 can detect the position of obstacles. When an obstacle is detected and the outer shell 7 needs to be retracted, it will transmit a command to the first motor 12. The first motor 12 will drive the first pulley 14 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the first rope 16 to drive the rotating column 2 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. This will cause the rotating column 2 to drive the outer shell 7 on one side of the fixed plate 6 to retract synchronously, thus preventing the outer shell 7 from contacting the obstacle. When the outer shell 7 needs to be unfolded, the second motor 13 will drive the second pulley 15 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the rotating column 2 to rotate clockwise synchronously under the action of the second rope 17, thus unfolding the outer shell 7. The infrared sensor 9 also enables the automatic retraction function when the vehicle is slowly entering or leaving the parking space, which can effectively prevent the outer shell 7 from scratching the adjacent vehicle due to misjudgment of distance, thereby greatly reducing the probability of damage to the rearview mirror.

[0022] Specifically, a set of telescopic rods 5 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom inner walls of the fixed base 1. There are multiple telescopic rods 5 in each set. The ends of the two sets of telescopic rods 5 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the sides of the two connecting plates 4 that are far from each other. The two sets of telescopic rods 5 are located inside the two sets of springs 3. The sides of the two buffer pads 10 that are close to each other are in contact with the top and bottom sides of the fixed plate 6. The two buffer pads 10 are made of rubber. By setting two sets of telescopic rods 5, the two sets of telescopic rods 5 can provide a limit when the two sets of springs 3 bend, preventing the springs 3 from being damaged due to excessive bending. By setting two buffer pads 10, which are located on the top and bottom sides of the fixed plate 6 respectively, the fixed plate 6 can be cushioned and shock-absorbing when it moves up and down due to bumps, thereby further preventing the outer shell 7 from being damaged by impacts.

[0023] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control.

[0024] In use: Two sets of springs 3 are installed. When the vehicle travels on bumpy roads, because the outer shell 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 6, and the fixed plate 6 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating column 2, when the outer shell 7 shakes, it will synchronously drive the rotating column 2 to move up and down. During this up-and-down movement, the two connecting plates 4 will be pressed against the two sets of springs 3. During this pressing process, the two sets of springs 3 can buffer the pressing force, thus preventing damage to the outer shell 7 due to up-and-down shaking. Furthermore, two buffer pads 10 are fixedly installed inside the fixed base 1, located on the top and bottom sides of the fixed plate 6 respectively. Therefore, when the fixed plate 6 moves up and down due to bumps, it can buffer and dampen the shock, further preventing damage to the outer shell 7 from impacts. A red... The external sensor 9 and infrared sensor 9 can detect the position of obstacles. When an obstacle is detected and the outer shell 7 needs to be retracted, a command is transmitted to the first motor 12. The first motor 12 will drive the first pulley 14 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the first rope 16 to drive the rotating column 2 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. This will cause the rotating column 2 to drive the outer shell 7 on one side of the fixed plate 6 to retract synchronously, thus preventing the outer shell 7 from contacting the obstacle. When the outer shell 7 needs to be unfolded, the second motor 13 will drive the second pulley 15 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the rotating column 2 to rotate clockwise synchronously under the action of the second rope 17, thus realizing the unfolding of the outer shell 7. By setting the infrared sensor 9 in conjunction with two sets of springs 3 and the buffer pad 10, the outer shell 7 can be protected while avoiding collisions with obstacles.
